I wake up with a start. I look around trying to figure out what made that God awful noise that had woke me up. I see JC standing by the door with his 9MM loosely gripped in his hand as he waits for the noise to repeat. He looks over at the bed, sees that my eyes are open, brings his other hand up to his face, placing one finger over his lips as a signal to be quiet. //Like I was planning on screaming at this point.//

Then we heard it. Gunshots in the hall. I jump up out of the bed and grab my 9MM out of it's holster. I go to the other side of the door and we stand there waiting. I keep a close eye on JC to see what his next action will be.

JC slowly opens the door, while I step around it to cover him. He peeks out the door looking first to his left, then to his right. Stepping out into the hall, with me close on his heels, he slowly makes his way down the hall with his gun raised and close to his chest. We make it to where the hallway meets the main section of hallway. He looks to his left and then to his right and drops to his knee, bringing his arms up and level with his shoulders.

I watch as JC slowly creeps up on the guy at the other end of the hallway, who was holding a woman hostage with a gun pointed at two police officers in front of him. I covered him from behind the wall. //What the hell are you doing? Those cops don't know who the hell you are. They're gonna shoot you too.//

JC gets right up behind the guy, puts his gun in the back in the waistband of his pants, he reaches up and grabs the gun from the guy's hand so quickly the guy didn't have a chance to react. He had the guy on the floor, on his stomach with his arms behind his back and in cuffs before the woman had a chance to freak out. I move in, putting my gun in my waistband I grab the woman and pull her away from JC and the gunman.

The two police officers, after recovering from their shock, come down the hall. The taller of the two asks, "Who are you?"

JC pulls his wallet out and shows them his 'Section badge'. The other officer looks at it and then at me, "What about you?"

I reach in my pocket and show him my 'badge'.

"These aren't police badges. What agency are you with? FBI or something?"

"Yeah, something like that." JC states as we start walking away. "You can keep the cuffs."

We walk back into the hotel room. "You ok?" JC asks.

"Fine. You?"

"Fine. That guy didn't have a clue what he was doing. Never leave your back uncovered."

"Right. Even I knew that. What an idiot." I put my gun back into it's holster and collapse on the bed, "So what do we do now. I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be able to get back to sleep after that."

"No. Why don't we take a shower and then we can go wander around town or something for a while?"

"Sounds good to me. We don't have anything on our schedule. What about you guys?" I ask.

"Nothing that I know of. Far as I know, I'm supposed to be in the studio working on a new song. I have the song here and we can stop there later. I'm starving."

"You know, now that you mention it, I could use some food too."

"Good. Let's grab a quick shower and go eat."

"Um...Together?" I question. //I don't think I'll be able to keep my hands off you if your naked.//

"Yeah. Is that a problem?" He asks with an eyebrow quirked at me.

"No... Not a problem per say...Just...what about what you said earlier?"

"It's a shower Mark. If you'd rather take one by yourself that's fine with me." He looks at me with disappointment clearly evident in his eyes.

"No. I don't wanna take one by myself. I'm just not all that sure I'll be able to keep my hands to myself." I let my eyes wander over his body.

He blushes, "Well..." He grabs my jeans at the waist and pulls me to him, "Maybe I've changed my mind. I heard a little bird this morning and it had a few interesting things to say."

"Really, and what did this little bird tell you?" I raise my eyebrows. //Please don't let it be that he heard what I said.//

"He said that maybe I should open my heart and mind and then maybe love could get in. I've been closed off from people for so long that I'm not sure I'd know love if it came up and bit me in the ass at this point."

"Well. Sounds like this bird is pretty smart." I smile.

"Yeah, he was really cute too. Had the most amazing green eyes I've ever seen."

"Really? Guess it's a good thing he was a bird then, or I might have a bit of competition."

"Never. No one could take your place Mark. Now get that fine ass of yours in the shower. As gorgeous as you are you aren't gorgeous enough for me to put up with that smell." JC teases.

A knock at the door stops us at the door of the bathroom, "Damn it. Those guys have the worst timing." He huffs as he makes his way to the door. "You might as well go ahead and get in the shower. That was Justin's knock and who knows what the hell that kid wants now." He pulls open the door, "Hey Justin. What's up?"

"Did you hear those gunshots earlier?"

"Yes J."

"So...What happened? I know you man. You wouldn't let that go without checking it out."

JC rolls his eyes and I head into the bathroom. //Man, he's right. That kid has the worst timing ever.//

20 minutes later I come out of the bathroom to another room full of people. "What the hell? Is this some kind of trend around here? I go into the shower with a nearly empty room and come out to a room full of people?"

JC gets up and walks over to me, "They wanted to know what happened earlier with the gunfire."

"So...Why did they all have to come here? God, is it too much to ask to spend ten minutes awake with you?"

"No. That's why they're all going out shopping and you and I are gonna do whatever the hell we want to do for the day. The studio is still open at 11 and I seriously need to get in there and work on that song. But other than that, I'm yours for the day." He smiles.

"Good." I grab Justin's arm in one hand and DJ's in the other, "Everybody out."

"Ok, ok. We're going." Justin mumbles as I drag him to the door. I hold the door open as they file out. I turn around and see Lance and JC with their heads together whispering, "You too Bass. I want him to myself. Out."

They look at me and Lance grins like a Cheshire cat, "I'm on my way. Good luck Jayce. You two have fun and don't do anything Alex and I wouldn't."

JC strips off his clothes and walks up to me, "Hope you didn't use all the hotwater." He trails a finger across my chest.

"Um...No. I'm sure there's still some left." I stammer.

"Care to join me? I was really looking forward to sharing one with you, before we were so rudely interupted."

"HmmMmmm." I drop my towel, "I'd be happy to."

JC's eyes wander down my body and a smiles decorates his face as his eyes land on my growing erection. "I can see that."

"Yeah," I gaze at his lean body. "Looks like I'm not the only one." I smile as my eyes reach his groin.

"Well..." He blushes. "What do expect to happen when I've been tempted with someone that looks like you?"

I blush, "Come on hot stuff. Let's get that ass of yours in the shower before we never make it into the bathroom, let alone under the water."

We walk into the bathroom. JC leans over and turns the water on. I reach out and run a hand across his back. He stands back up and turns around, "Ready?"

He pulls the shower curtain halfway closed and then steps into the shower. I step in after him and he pulls the shower the rest of the way shut. He runs his hands up and down my arms and looks at me for a minute, "Why did you get so many of these?" He traces one of the sparrows on my shoulder.

"Each one means something different. They all mean something special to me. Represent something significant in my life. Well...all but a couple do." I smile.

"Yeah," he states distractedly. He leans in and kisses one sparrow and then the other. "They're beautiful, just like you." He trails his tongue across my shoulder, up my neck, and ends with a very passionate kiss. His tongue flicks across my lower lip asking for entrance. I bring my head down slightly and devour his mouth with mine. Our tongues duel for dominance with him finally winning. His hands are lighting paths of fire along my body as they travel up and down first my arms, then across my chest, down my back. He brings a hand to the front of my body and slowly brings it down to my groin. He doesn't touch my erection though, just teases the hell out of me.

"Josh, please." I whisper.

At that JC drops to his knees and takes my erection into his mouth. He starts with a slight touch of his tongue against the tip, his tongue slightly trails the length on the underside, along the vein, then back up to the tip. When he reaches the tip again, he opens his mouth, bringing my entire length into his mouth. He buries his nose in my pubic hair, then pulls back.

I moan at the feel because it is all that my brain can handle at this point. My body has lost all motor function by now, it's just acting on instinct. I rock my hips a couple of times until, somehow, JC maneuvers us so that my back is against the wall of the shower, pinning my hips against the wall with his hands. He continues his onslaught on my body, leaving me at his mercy.

After a watching that gorgeous man for several long torturous minutes I feel myself loosing control. I manage a slight gasp before coming harder than I ever thought was possible. JC swallows it all and then stands up.

He pulls me to him, "You ok baby?"

"Hmm..."//What? Did he just call me baby?// "Did you just call me baby?"

"Yeah. Sorry." He runs a hand down my back.

"No. I don't mind. It just seems kinda strange."

"Why?"

"Well...I am older than you." I pull my head back so I can see his eyes.

"So?"

"Nothing. I'm not complaining believe me." //Not after that blowjob. What do you think I am? An idiot?// "You sure you've never been with another guy?"

"Never. Why do you ask?" He asks as he grabs the shampoo and pours some into his hand. He brings the hand up to his head and begins to work it into a lather.

"Because. You did that like you've been doing it all your life." I reach out and wipe some soap off his forehead that was nearing his eye.

"Thanks, I think."

I let my eyes wander down his body. //Perhaps I should return the favor.// When my eyes land on his half erect penis I make my decision. I reach out and run my hand down his stomach and bring my mouth down on one of his nipples. His suprised gasp is all the encouragement I need to continue on down his body to his now very erect penis.

I lick my way down the shaft and then back up, savoring his unique taste. I slowly take his length into my mouth relaxing the muscles in my throat, enjoying the feel of this man inside my mouth.

"Mark. You don't have to." He moans. "I didn't..."

I pull back, "I know I don't have to. No be quiet and enjoy the ride."

"Mmmm." He brings a hand down and slides it into my hair, running it absentmindedly back and forth over my head. "So good." He whispers.

I continue sliding his length in and out of my mouth. I bring a hand down his stomach and take his balls into it, messaging them gently. This gains me another gasp of suprise and more moans. I bring my other hand down and around to his ass for a little support. I can feel the pressure building in his body as he gets close to orgasm. His thigh muscles tighten and his stomach clenches tightly. "Mark," he gasps and he comes. I lick him clean and then stand up.

"Guess that kinda negates the toothbrushing that I did a few minutes ago." I tease.

He opens his eyes slightly and gives me a lopsided grin, "Yeah, I suppose it does."

I lean in and kiss him, "Need a little help there, Sexy?"

He smiles a full smile, "I'd love some." He leans back and finishes rinsing the soap out of his hair.
